Dear Friend of MCV,

Each year, we publish our Environmental Scorecard to bring Maine people ( you! ) into the work happening at the State House in Augusta. This is an opportunity for you to learn how your legislators voted on bills and policies that affect the environment, climate, communities, and democracy.

Holding our elected officials accountable for the votes they take each year is a cornerstone of our work here at Maine Conservation Voters.

Today we're excited to present our legislative scorecard for 2024! Click here to see how your legislators and lawmakers all across Maine stack up >>

EXPLORE THE SCORECARD: [link removed]

This year’s Scorecard tells the story of the entire 131st Legislature – and how lawmakers built on 2023’s momentum to continue to protect the environment and our democracy in Maine in 2024. We include the bills we scored in 2023 – the first half of the 131st Legislature – as well as three new bills from this year that protect our democracy by bringing Maine into the National Popular Vote compact, establish a pathway for funding Maine trails, and restore criminal jurisdiction of tribal courts. The scorecard also tells “the story of the session” with an overview of more than a dozen critical environmental bills.

This year, 86 lawmakers scored 100% on Maine’s Environmental Scorecard, earning the title of Conservation Champion. Unfortunately, 56 policymakers scored ZERO on the Scorecard , voting against bills that would conserve our environment, protect our democracy, and build healthier communities.

Thank you for standing with us as we face consequential threats, seize historic opportunities, and hold our elected officials accountable for their votes. Together, we are bending the arc toward justice and a thriving environment, climate, and democracy in Maine.

Onward!
